Voices of the fallen heroes : and other stories
Mishima, Yukio, 1925-19702025
Books
A writer is seized by apocalyptic visions; a voyeuristic marquis commits a brutal act; and a trio of beatniks dance to modern jazz in the ruins of an abandoned church. Here, stark autobiography contrasts with pure horror, and the tenderness of first love cedes to obsession, heartbreak and deathly beauty. A new selection of Mishima's short stories from the 1960s, 'Voices of the Fallen Heroes' traces the final decade of Mishima's career and offers a unique glimpse into the mind of one of Japan's greatest writers.
